He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 103

Jarrod was essentially flat-out saying the Quinn family was utterly useless to the Fullers.

The truth hurt, but it was still the truth.

George opened his mouth to speak but no sound came out, his posture visibly deflating.

Stella felt that George, with his eyes only on profit, wasn't worthy of sympathy.

Yet Jarrod's condescending posture and slow, deliberate tone still filled Stella with an unspeakable sense of humiliation and frustration.

"Can I sign on my father's behalf?" Stella asked, trying to keep her voice as steady as possible.

At her words, Jarrod looked over at her. Her face was completely devoid of makeup, her complexion radiant, but her clear almond eyes hid a flash of suppressed anger.

Jarrod scoffed softly, asking with lazy indifference, "Are you the executive of the Quinn family business?"

"..." Stella was left speechless.

Jarrod was doing this on purpose. He knew full well she had zero involvement in the company's operations.

Unlike Stella's annoyance, a sudden spark of inspiration hit George.

"Jarrod, I've always wanted Stella to come back and help me out. Since she just resigned, she can take over the heavy lifting at the company. I'm planning to put her in charge of the partnership with the Fuller Group. Once she's fully onboard, she can handle the negotiations directly with your team. How does that sound?"

Stella knew George was just stalling for time.

If she knew that, Jarrod certainly knew it even better.

Stella thought George was being too clever for his own good; Jarrod would never fall for it.

Sure enough, Jarrod let out a faint scoff. "Changing the person in charge doesn't change the outcome. Why waste time?"

George hurriedly pleaded, "Jarrod, you and Stella haven't officially divorced yet, which means we're still family. Can we just hold off on this termination contract for a few days? Give it a little time."
